The bottom wing is probably made by LaVelle.  They are sometimes found with that hallmark.

Gerard, I really like your Kinney Pilot wing. I know the hallmark on the back is often sought after but the detail on your example is very clear and crisp.

Thanks Patrick, I knew that from the seller and forgot! I appreciate it and the link to the thread, great research and reference.

Looks like it was a successful show. I hope to make it next year and meet everyone.

I wasn't able to attend but thanks to Tod I was still able to get a couple very nice additions from the show for my collection.
